"Great location, great price and really friendly staff. It could be cleaner I.e skirting boards, carpets and cups in the room.
We still really enjoyed it"
"Amazing views, very lovely staff, easy parking, very clean and comfortably spacious rooms.
Only thing to note is that if the bar / restaurant is open and music on, and it's summer and you have windows open, it can get a bit noisy on the top floor. We stayed Friday and sat night so that might also make a difference. Parents were in room on cliffside below the restaurant and was much quieter there. Five stars easily even with this!"
